DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...
A large area of high pressure will generally be positioned across SE Canada through much of the week, before shifting south/east directly over the Northeast CONUS over the weekend. Meanwhile, a Nor'easter positioned off the N. Carolina coast will slowly meander E/NE over the next few days with no immediate impacts to eastern New York and western New England. The pressure gradient is expected to tighten on Tue, so northerly winds will increase with gusts of 20-25 mph developing. Otherwise winds should remain relatively light, with plenty of clear skies upcoming. High temperatures will be near normal, with lows averaging slightly below normal most nights with a dry air mass in place. There will also likely be patchy fog in favored sheltered valley and near bodies of water some nights, especially during periods when winds will be lighter.
AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
With high pressure close to the region, VFR conditions remain in place for this afternoon with clear skies and light surface winds. Dry weather will continue into the overnight hours tonight. While most sites will remain VFR, some radiational fog will be possible late in the overnight hours at KGFL due to local terrain effects. Will include mention of IFR fog there for a few hours right around sunrise. For the other sites, there may be enough of a pressure gradient between the nearby high pressure and a Nor'Easter offshore the mid Atlantic states to keep a light northeast breeze in place. This breeze, along with dry low levels, should prevent much radiational fog from developing for the other sites.
During the day on Tuesday, it will remain fairly clear with no precipitation and continued VFR conditions. North to northeast winds will be 5-10 kts for all sites through the day on Tuesday.

Tuesday Night to Saturday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
